The diversity of the American workforce is one of its strengths\, providing an opportunity to explore how people of all races and ethnicities identified commonalities and worked to knock down barriers in the professional world. The exhibition shows how we identify with work – as individuals and as communities. \nThe Birthplace of Country Music Museum (an Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution) has created a supplementary display related to work in Bristol and the Tri-Cities region from major manufacturing and resource extraction (e.g. coal\, timber) to retail\, food services\, farming\, local industry\, and the local newspaper.
